…Grabbing a coffee, a manicure and a little beach time whenever a free minute pops up, Gianna Martello is a California girl. At least on this day. Abby Lee Miller’s student since the age of seven turned – choreographic assistant, Martello dishes on her journey, splitting her time between coasts and living her best life.

“My schedule depends a lot on the show and how many episodes, which normally is between 13 and 16, and has been as many as 18,” Martello says. “Each episode is a week. So, for three or four months I’m in L.A. and get about 6-8 weeks off between seasons. I like to say I get the best of both worlds.”

Being recognized is still remarkable to Martello, who grew up in Forest Hills, Pennsylvania, because she doesn’t consider herself a star. “I used to just get recognized around the dance scene, but now, it’s in the mall, or out getting my nails done. A lot has happened in just a few years!” she says.
